What is the significance of bleeding when you defecate?

Bleeding from the anus may be a sign of a number of medical conditions. Some very common (and not at all serious / easily treatable) to potentially very serious. First of all anal bleeding is NOT uncommon. Do NOT be embarrassed. DO GO AND SPEAK TO YOUR DOCTOR.

Some common causes of anal bleeding:

1) Anal fissure:

A tear in the lining of the anal canal, just inside the anus. This can be very painful, particularly when during and after the passing of a stool. Anal fissures may cause minor bleeding, which you may notice in your stools or on your toilet paper.

Anal fissures are a common problem and can occur in both adults and children.

2) Haemorrhoids (piles):

Haemorrhoids, or piles, are enlarged and swollen blood vessels in or around the lower rectum and anus.

Haemorrhoids (piles) are not considered dangerous and may affect any age group. Haemorrhoids are very common, affecting approx. 50% of the population experiencing them at some point in their life.

The above are just two of a number of potential causes for anal bleeding, some of which are potentially very serious (even life threatening e.g. bowel cancer) although much less common than the two examples given above. However you MUST go and see a doctor.

Is colon cleansing required?

One of the essentials of maintaining good health is to have a healthy colon. In recent times, fiber and natural body cleansers have been disappearing from the diets of most people, especially in America where convenient junk feeding ranks high despite the recommended daily allowance of 30 grams of fiber intake per person. Eating a fiber- deprived diet is like travelling in a car with fuel on reserve.

The colon is responsible for the extraction of salt and water from fecal materials, hence it is important to keep the intestine -- which is the passage - free and active. This can be achieved by by regularly detoxifying the body and cleansing the colon.

Only the sufficient intake of fiber can help your body get rid of stored fecal materials, which otherwise cause health complications like bloating, constipation, indigestion, and in extreme cases, colon cancer. The right amount of fiber also helps you get rid of harmful plagues and unnecessary food while giving you a healthy colon.

Advantages:

Colon cleansing leaves you refreshed and energised, and helps you achieve a good digestive order. This helps maintain your health. It aids the digestive system by decomposing food particles, extracting and absorbing of nutrients and easy purging of fecal materials. Colon cleansing also helps food particles digest, by making the tasks of the internal organs (stomach, intestines, liver and pancreas) easier.
